Research and Evidence-Based Practice
Research and evidence-based practice support the CVMC Mission – Excellent
healthcare. Every Patient. Every Time. CVMC, though not a large academic
medical center, is committed to providing resources for employees and
affiliated students to conduct research that has clinical relevance to
the organization. The Department for Research and Evidence-Based Practice
assists with study design, proposal development, IRB submission, data
analysis, abstract and presentation preparation and critique, and manuscript
composition. Novice researchers benefit from an assigned clinical mentor
and an experienced research sponsor.
New knowledge is constantly being generated and the rate at which research
is published is phenomenal. This makes it challenging for healthcare providers
to remain abreast of the growing body of evidence. Implementing best evidence
does not always keep pace with scientific discovery. So how does one keep
his/her practice current? Evidence-Based Practice. Our EBP Model depicts
the steps of the evidence-based practice process. The Model provides the
framework for evaluating and implementing EBP interventions. The Department
for Research and Evidence-Based Practice provides direction for EBP projects
to promote new practices and warranted practice changes.
